Want to know the easy recipe to make Phulka / Soft Chapathi ? Here goes
the video and stepwise pics method for making garma garam Phulkhas at home.
Phulkas are very light, soft in texture and melt in your mouth.

Few days back, when my sister-in-law Kavitha, showed me how to make
Phulka, the way they puff up in direct flame as they show in ads, I was in awww
and truly inspired. Now am gaining confidence to make soft phulkas by my own
too.

I am so glad to share with you here the healthy and light Indian bread
Phulka recipe. Do try at your home and enjoy the yummy taste..:)

Ingredients:

·Whole wheat
flour - 2 cups

·Salt -
½ to ¾ tsp

·Water - 1 cup or more as needed

·Ghee / oil - 3 to 4 tsp

Method:

·Take whole
wheat flour / atta in a mixing bowl.

·Add salt and 2
tsp ghee / oil and mix well.

·Sprinkle water
little by little and knead it to smooth soft dough.

·The consistency
of the dough is very important. Take care the dough should be pliable and soft.
(If the dough is hard, the phulkas wont puff up. On the other hand if the dough
is very soft, it will get sticky on rolling)

·Now cover the
dough with a plate or cloth and set aside for 30 mins.

·Make
medium sized balls out of the dough.

·Take out one
of the ball, roll it in your palms, flatten it and dust it with wheat flour.

·Place it on
the rolling disc and roll it with pin to thin circular disc shape as shown in
the pic.

·Heat a tawa /
dosa pan on flame.

·Once the tawa
reaches sufficient hot, place the roti gently on it.

·Allow to cook
on one side.

·Once the
bubble starts appearing, ( it should be ¼ th cooked ) flip it to the other
side.

·Cook this
side, until it is half cooked and slight brown spot appears.

·Now hold the roti
with a tong ( remove the tawa / griddle from flame ) and keep the first side
which was cooked directly over the flame.

·The roti
starts puffing.

·Now flip it
over to other side gently.

·The roti puffs
up completely.

·Remove and
apply ghee on rotis.

·Sooper soft
and fluffy Phulkas are ready.

·Serve hot with
any spicy curry, dal or any side dish of your choice.

·We enjoyed the
delicious combo of phulkas with chicken curry and cucumber raitha.
